South Australia’s food and agriculture industry could become the largest employer in the State, with the demand for premium food both internationally and domestically set to increase enormously over the coming decade.

BankSA today said that with more than 95 per cent of all BankSA transactions now taking place outside of branches, and only five per cent of customers banking over the counter, it was making changes to its branch network.

Recognising the importance of diversity in the arts and across the wider community, BankSA has been announced the principal partner of South Australia’s largest and internationally-renowned queer arts event, FEAST.

South Australia’s defence manufacturing industry, and the debate surrounding the State’s level of involvement in the nation’s Future Submarines program, is the focus of BankSA’s latest economic bulletin, Trends.

In a result that has outpaced the national rate of increase, the latest BankSA Rural Price Index shows that South Australia’s exports of unprocessed foods have more than doubled, from $1.1 billion in 2009-10 to $2.4 billion in 2013-14.
